Putting off doing dishes. We have a contractor coming over at 3:30 (in an hour and half) and I just painted my nails. No motivation today.

I can't see the Dec '17 board yet on mobile. Lame. 

HollyGolightly09

Y'all, I'm so excited! One of my friends at work has a one year old and is going to sale me his infant car seat/stroller. It is the exact set I was wanting, I know she has not had a wreck with it, and it doesn't go out of date until 2020.

Aw, December is still a little baby board- only three threads! But it still feels good to be further along. There are people starting on BMBs who got their BFPs while most of us were already in second tri. That makes it feel so real! But also, how did we get this far along? My BFP feels like it was just yesterday!

UM right?!?! I was just thinking that I'll be 18 weeks very soon.. and then a little over a week after that I'll be halfway done already.... WHAT?? Also I was going through my photos on my phone and saw all of my bump photos. How is it already April? I got my BFP was a few days after Christmas. It seriously doesn't feel like it should be April already.

My dogs are mad at me because I ate one of their posicles and didn't share / give them one. (It's just frozen fruit and veggies blended up with Greek yogurt that I freeze and give them as summertime treats.)

I'm glad you clarified, otherwise that would be one funky pregnancy craving!

LosAngelesMama

@JNR6510 lol yes thank you for clarifying. I literally started reading your comment... went back to make sure I read dogs correctly... then continued and I was like ohhhh okay. She not eating dog treats lol.

wyomama0427

I was also very confused because the only dog popsicles I've ever seen have been made with like cooked veggies and beef and chicken broth and stuff lol! I was like oh why not just get people popsicles instead ha!

JNR6510

Lol. I definitely haven't been craving dog food. I like to make my puppies popsicle treats and things. Plus it keeps them from begging for my fresh fruit.

I seriously can't believe how fast this pregnancy is going. I got my BFP in December! It seems unreal that December due dates have already come around. 

mrs_tacos

I'm eating pop tarts, and they are making me way more happy than any food this processed ever should. That is all. 

wyomama0427

@mrs_tacos I pop tarts! With DS I craved the blue raspberry ones. One time I ate a whole box for breakfast... I don't reccomended that. Lol. But I love your gif

lol, that reminds me of my nephew's mom... toward the end of her pregnancy, she ate half a bag of white donuts every morning, and the other half that night. 

Cats*in*space

It'll do.

wyomama0427

@HollyGolightly09 lol yeah I really don't reccomend that kind of diet, that's why I gained 76 pounds with DS

wyomama0427

Also, holy second tri energy boost! I've been cleaning all day and chasing after DS, picked up his toys, cleaned the kitchen, got a whole load of dishes done. I'm feeling on top of it today!

Yep, had 2 brown sugar cinnamon ones when I got home from work. I also drank a big glass of milk. And milk is good for you, so it balanced out.

mrs_tacos

I only ate two pop tarts! But I did eat a small package of sour candy after, and now I'm drinking sweet tea. Dinner is going to be really healthy, though! Maybe that will make up for it...I hope.

Is that the one that tastes like Heineken? I believe I've tried them all! Hope you enjoy!

Cats*in*space

@iheartichi it's pretty skunky so.... Yes?

iheartichi

@Cats*in*space haha yep that's it!! I did like Buckler, and another German one I can't remember how to spell it. 

wyomama0427

Lol @mrs_tacos I really don't think you have to worry about eating two pop tarts! I didnt mean to come off scary with that at all, my problems were from waaayyyyy more than just pop tarts

HollyGolightly09

I would pay money to able to take Ibuprofen right now. I have a muscle that's knotted up in my shoulder, and it's making my neck, head, jaw, and teeth on that side hurt SO bad. 

Tylenol sucks. 

mrsmarygs

@HollyGolightly09 Have you tried a heat pack or bath? Maybe your H could give you a massage? I get really bad shoulder/neck knots from sitting at my desk, so I've learned how to get to my knots. But sometimes I have to get DH to work on them.

HollyGolightly09

@mrsmarygs  DH is normally good at getting them out, but hasn't been able to make much progress on this one.

jutondreau

@HollyGolightly09 I had the same wish the other day for a knot in my neck. Almost caved too...those are awful and affect EVERYTHING

msashley2010-2

@wyomama0427 can you send me some of that energy please?

Me too. 

msashley2010-2

@HollyGolightly09 Ouch! That is the worst!! It's a shame he isn't able to help you get this one out. Sometimes ice packs help me amdvother times heat/massage does the trick. I hope you feel better e!!

Sugargirl1019

@wyomama0427 Yea really, send it this way too!!! Glad you're feeling good

wyomama0427

@msashley2010-2 @bridge-and-wall @Sugargirl1019 You get energy and you get energy and YOU get energy!!! 

Heh. Wish that's how it worked. I just did MORE dishes and got some laundry going AND made dinner. Damn I'm on it today! 

Cats*in*space

I'm practicing for a presentation I have to give tomorrow and I'm out of breath after each sentence.  This is going to be great.

mrs_tacos

DH booked me a prenatal massage! Bless him. He is getting so lucky tonight. (Or the night after I get the massage- may work better.) Because this lower lumbar/tailbone/pelvic pain is getting ridiculous. I am hobbling around like a woman much more pregnant that I am, and it is rubbish. 

Sugargirl1019

@mrs_tacos Let me know how it is!! The massage... not the other event. Haha. I tried to get a prenatal massage once and they went so easy on me I was pissed!  I had super sore muscles and they just barely irritated my skin instead.

mrs_tacos

@Sugargirl1019 I go Friday afternoon, so I will definitely let you know! It's a place that's supposed to specialize in prenatal massages, so I'm hopeful that it will be good.

Sugargirl1019

I have a random question!

What is the proper way to do kegels? I was told to hold them for like a minute. But, geez that is nearly impossible with the cramping I end up feeling. Do you "pump" kegels instead for a minute? What were you told to do?

mrsmarygs

One of my apps said to just hold it for a beat and then release, and to do these reps for 1 minute 3 times a day...which I haven't done in two months. Thanks for the reminder!

There's no way I could hold a kegel for a whole minute. Maybe like, five seconds? I don't do them much but when I do I just do it til the muscles get "tired." Lol.
